ABSTRACT:
A pin and box connection for connecting tubular members together utilizes a split sleeve. The split sleeve is carried on one of the members and has the ability to retract. This allows the members to be snapped together without rotation. The split sleeve is threaded, and the threads ratchet over each other when snapped together. A locking pin is located in one of the members for engaging a longitudinal slot in the other member. The locking member prevents the members from rotating to unscrew once snapped together. The locking pin can be removed to allow the members to be unscrewed from each other.
